significant modifications to existing technology or security infrastructure."

To support new Internet business models, companies must integrate their
IT infrastructures so they can process a seamless flow of information
across the enterprise and among trading partners. Comprehensive B2B integration
(B2Bi) integrates packaged, custom, legacy and mainframe systems within
the enterprise and links them over the Internet with business systems
operated by customers, suppliers, partners and marketplaces. Such a comprehensive
solution links individual enterprises together into seamless platforms
for extended process efficiency across the supply chain. The result is
a virtual enterprise with more resources and strengths than any individual
company.
